The only Politics to discuss...
I have been listening over the last couple of weeks to the Reith lectures on BBC Radio 4. The guest speaker for 2007 is Professor Jeffrey Sachs, a renowned economist. His series of lectures is entitled "Bursting at the Seams", and presents a highly intelligent and optimistic view of the challenges facing the world of globalisation; climate change, war, extreme poverty, bad governance, etc.
I urge everyone to listen to this man's views, and the debate that follows each lecture. In this time of elections in France, if there is only one set of "politics" to adhere to, it is the politics of peace, fair distribution of wealth, respect for "others" and a sense of shared pride in our planet.
Neither right nor left, it is straight-down-the-middle common sense.
